Hello
My name is Frank Gibson.
After gaining an Honours' Degree in Engineering, I worked for Rolls Royce Aero Engines in Development. I then decided to become a teacher, and have never regretted the decision, as it combines my love for both learning and communication.
My forty-two years of teaching includes positions as the Physics' Head of Department and later for Mathematics. This involved teaching both subjects to Level 3. I have also spent time as an advisor with the Qatar Education Ministry.
Tuition is a team effort. Student and mentor work together to plan, find problem areas and overcome them.
